Social Lounge

A relaxed outdoor social setting that is ideal for building connections with colleagues and catching up on emails in a more laid-back setting. The overall environment provides adequate physical distancing and circulation. Varied postures give users choice of how they prefer to connect with others.

Design Considerations:

Belonging
Casual lounge settings can create a feeling of inclusion and trust amongst colleagues

Comfort
A canopy created with an umbrella can define space and provide a larger shaded zone

Work Café

A variety of postures from lounge to standing height extends user choice and control to the outdoors. Connect with a co-worker or enjoy a moment of respite while enjoying the fresh air and a change a pace.

Design Considerations:

Safety
Boundary elements can be moved if needed to provide privacy and enable safe distancing

Comfort
Umbrellas provide relief from the elements for physical comfort and shade screens on personal devices for better viewing

SOCIAL + COLLABORATIVE LOUNGE

An outdoor social space that can accommodate a range of group sizes and activities – from a single individual up to four people within each setting. Perfect for dining, a moment to refresh, connecting with colleagues, individual work or informal collaboration – all with access to fresh air. Screens and biophilic elements create soft visual boundaries. Tools for collaboration are readily available.

Design Considerations:

Productivity
Collaborative tools can make outdoor spaces work harder and double as space division

Safety
Staggered seating at shared tables provide the recommended distance between users and eliminates face-to-face orientation

Comfort
Architectural screening elements shield users and define individual spaces
